SR 343 Pennsylvania Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

A Resolution recognizing the month of October 2024 as "National Breast Cancer Awareness Month" in Pennsylvania and October 18, 2024, as "National Mammography Day" in Pennsylvania.

This Senate Resolution formally recognizes October 2024 as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and October 18, 2024, as National Mammography Day within Pennsylvania. The bill aims to raise public awareness about breast cancer and encourages residents to discuss screening options with their doctors, specifically urging women over 40 to get annual mammograms. It highlights the importance of early detection to improve survival rates but does not create new laws or allocate funding. The measure serves as a symbolic gesture to promote health information rather than implementing concrete policy changes.
